Quick Answer

A person with a bleeding eye should call 911 and receive emergency care for the eye, notes WebMD. Bleeding in the eye is a serious medical condition that requires the eye to be protected until medical care is received. The eye should be covered using a clean compress, but pressure shouldn't be applied.
